How to pick a good property manager
Hi folks,
The market is moving nicely as we enter the busy season. I have been meeting more rental investors looking for property so I thought this week I would address some property management issues and offer some questions that a good property manager will know the answers to. The way a property manager answers the following seven questions will help investors decide whether they are up to the job.
Renting Out Your Home To Raise Capital
Hi folks,
As I’m meeting more rental investors of late I thought I would look at the strategy of renting out your home to raise capital and thought I would ask the question “Can you turn your home into a rental?” There are many reasons why homeowners may choose to change their current home into an investment property. Working away seems to be a key component but sometimes people go overseas for an extended period and want their home to be waiting for them on their return, Or perhaps they simply see the financial advantages of holding onto a property when buying another. What are they?
Maximising Income From Rental Property
Hi folks,
Most experienced investors understand that $500 a week for fifty two weeks a year means more money in their pocket than $550 a week with several weeks vacancy during the year. So if maximising income from rental property investment comes from keeping their properties occupied, why do some landlords charge such high rents that their tenants move on whenever they get the chance and new tenants are slow to move in?
Hold On? Or Sell?
Hi folks,
In recent times I have met some people whose property is valued less now than when they bought so I thought I would ask the question, Is it ever financially sound to hold onto a property that doesn’t reach the desired price rather than sell for less?
Rental Investments: Think Like a Tenant
Hi folks,
In the last couple of months I have had a couple of multi –unit properties to sell so thought this would be a good time to revisit rental investments, why? Because as prices have dropped rental yields have increased and at some point in the future property prices will increase as well.

If I Don’t Get My Price, I’m Not Selling!
Hi folks,
Agents often hear home owners say “If I don’t get my price, I’m not selling!” In many cases home sellers don’t have the luxury of holding out for an in your dreams figure because they have to sell in order to buy another home to live in. But if the market can’t deliver the price there is another option for those who have the flexibility to take it on. In some cases it is in the vendor’s best interests to hold onto a property rather than selling for less, especially if they have the borrowing power to own more than one property and turn the unsold home into rental investment income.

Sell Your Property... or Rent It?
Hi folks,
In recent times I have met some people whose property is valued less now than when they bought so I thought I would ask the question, Is it ever financially sound to hold onto a property that doesn’t reach the desired price rather than sell for less?
Rental Yields Have Increased
Hi folks,
This week, I would like to discuss rental investments, why? Because as prices have dropped rental yields have increased and at some point in the future property prices will increase as well.
